Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I'm afraid this one is pretty basic, but I can't figure out how to do this.
I visit a few websites which are only running properly in firefox. I usually use Chrome to visit other websites, but for this I have to fall back on firefox (no, user agent switchers don't work). Because I have to visit these sites quite often, I would like to get something like the quicklaunch Windows has.
I figured I could do this pretty much like Windows, just drag&drop the firefox icon on my panel, change the icon so I know which website each icon opens, change the "command" field in the Icon Settings (at the Application tab), and it would be done.

Well, that's what I thought. Unfortunately, if I change one icon, the other one changes as well. And I mean every setting. It doesn't look like these are separate .desktop items, they are the same. And not only that, the firefox icon in the Application Launcher does the same. Can someone explain me how to get one icon for each website?
